Replying to: jack47 (Jun 22, 2009 3:57 am) Agreed & understood. I was hoping to get it for a little bit less, but I didn't have much choice: Within a 100 mile radius, only one dealership -- the one from which we bought -- had GLS's with the equipment package, and they only had 2. There are two other dealers in the area, but in total the two of them have ~20 Sonatas, and none were GLS's with the equipment package.   I enjoy living in the west, but that's one bad thing: everything is so spaced out that if you can't find exactly what you want in your area, it's not like you can just drive 20-30 minutes to the next large city.

#6298 of 6609 What can I realisticly expect to pay? by samir1010 Jun 25, 2009 (9:37 pm)
I'm looking at buying a 2009 Hyundai Sonata for my parents this week. To be more specific, I'd like a GLS 4cyl Auto with Popular Equip Package, Cargo and Floor Mats. After building the vehicle online I'm looking at $18425 which includes destination charge and taking the 3k rebate into account. What can I realisticly expect to pay for this vehicle when I'm at the dealership. I'm reading about people who are paying $15k out the door for this vehicle with the same options. Sounds like a great price but doesn't really sound too realistic. Any help or advice can be appreciated before I walk into the lion's den. Thanks in advance.

Replying to: samir1010 (Jun 25, 2009 9:37 pm) This really is going to depend on what region you are in but I would estimate between between 15K and 16K Replies to this message: samir1010 (Jun 26, 2009 6:52 am) backy (Jun 26, 2009 7:15 am)

Replying to: samir1010 (Jun 25, 2009 9:37 pm) If you qualify only for the $3000 rebate, $15k OTD is definitely not realistic. If you have seen $15k OTD it's for a stripped car with lots of rebates and low taxes and fees. IMO $5k off list including rebate for the car is a good deal, if not great deal, and you might set that as a ceiling. You can start lower and go up if you want to. Be sure to check with multiple dealers, even if they are some distance from you.

Replying to: mikebzt (Jun 26, 2009 4:40 am) I'm in Texas. Does anyone know how low the dealers will go here for the type of Sonata I'm looking for? So, I guess 5k below list is a good OTD price. Does pretty much everyone agree or again am I aiming too low? If I get 5k OTD below msrp wouldn't that mean that I'm really getting the car for about 6300 below MSRP, then adding tax, doc, title? Thanks again...Just a novice here. Replies to this message: backy (Jun 26, 2009 7:15 am)

Replying to: samir1010 (Jun 26, 2009 6:52 am) $5000 off MSRP before taxes and fees. Again, you can start lower. You can always come up. Also, make sure they don't hit you with a ridiculously high fee for "documentation" etc. (That may not be legal in TX, I don't know.)   While in Austin last week I saw an ad for Capitol Hyundai (Kyle) saying they would beat any advertised Hyundai deal by at least $1000 or give you the car. If you are anywhere close to Austin it might be worth checking the ads, then seeing if Capitol will beat the lowest price by $1000. My FIL just bought a 2009 Limited there, is very happy with the car.

Replying to: samir1010 (Jun 25, 2009 9:37 pm) Please see my posting just 4 posts above yours (#6294).   This past weekend I just purchased the exact same car you described - GLS, 4 cylinder automatic, popular equipment package, and cargo & floor mats -- for $16,200 before doc fees & TTL, or about $5,200 under MSRP. Like you, I only qualified for the $3k rebate. And it was a very tough negotiation to get it to that level -- we spent 3-4 hours at the dealership on the first day, ended the negotiation when we couldn't come to an agreement, and then they called us back with the $16.2k offer the next day.   But reading these forums, I agree with the above poster that it seems to depend heavily on your location. I'm in a relatively isolated area, so I assume someone who has more dealers with the car available nearby may be able to get a better deal than we did.   Nevertheless, the car is beautiful and I'm very happy with the deal. With the popular equipment package, the interior truly looks like that of a luxury car.   Let me know if I can be of any other assistance, since we just went through this same process last weekend.

#6304 of 6609 Location Matters by mikebzt Jun 26, 2009 (12:10 pm)
Here in the North East (NY/NJ/CT area) there are more dealers so you have a better chance of getting the car at the price you want. Myself I want a Sonata SE 4cyl The price I am offered is $17100 before doc fees & TTL and I only qualify for the 3K off. When looking for price I always suggest looking at Fitzmall and see the price for the car that you are looking for. That should be a good ballpark guide.
#6305 of 6609 Just Purchased SE Model by mikebzt Jun 27, 2009 (12:41 pm)
$17,300 +tax & title Came with Popular Equipment (mats, mud guard, cargo net, etc) Just no bluetooth   Pretty happy with the price. Sure I could have worked a little bit better deal but it was not worth the extra time and effort. Picking up the car Friday and can't wait
